Hey there! It’s a winter wonderland here in Bend, Oregon. Seems like the perfect time to be taking photos of a little log cabin in the woods. Fresh snow always make everything more enchanting, doesn’t it? Last week I shared the story behind the cabin that I’ve been renovating and the before photos. Today, I’m going Read more

The log home. Oh, the poor, poor, mistreated log home. She came to me in bad shape via my favorite client who hires me to design and manage the restoration of his flip homes. This was the log home’s situation… Her previous owner had lit a garbage fire in the crawl space before losing the house Read more

Ok, peeps… Here’s the deal… 2 words… Cat hoarder! This house was beyond foul! The image of me with the respirator… Not an exaggeration. I’m going to share some pictures of the house in the condition that I received it in. The household debris and carpets had already been removed but you will definitely be Read more

Oh yeah… She wasn’t pretty. Meet flip #5. She’s a double wide manufactured home on a nice, treed one acre lot. She was left in pretty rough condition: lots of household debris, pet products(and bi-products!), cages, crumbling cabinets and busted water lines. Here are the before photos. The Exterior The Interior (Baby you rock my Read more

My little addiction to live edge furniture started in 2013 with a trip to a local, one man show saw mill in our town in search of a large timber to use for a mantle over our wood stove. The owner suggested a 6″ thick by 12′ long by 15″ deep hunk of kiln dried Read more

Here we have Flip #4. She’s seen some big changes. Let’s get right to it and look at the before photos with a little commentary. The Exterior Whew…Weeds, we’re talking weeds and lots of ’em. And low hanging branches, so low you could barely park in the driveway. How ’bout this front walkway? I’m not Read more

Hey there! So I totally messed this up, but I’m going to share anyway. Be prepared to see poor quality iPhone photos of a brand new, unclean house. This is how it all unfolded. We bought a 1 acre building lot in our neighborhood to build a spec house on. I designed the house, a Read more

Here we have flip #3…Coming in at 1,126 sq. ft., this 3 bedroom, 2 bath little cottage was built in 1995 and in desperate need of some TLC. Meet the living room. The hall bath. The laundry closet. The master bedroom. Additional closet in the master. Master bath. And last but not least… The kitchen. Read more

I know what you’re thinking… This place is cute! At least, that’s what I thought when I first saw it. It is an adorable little cottage in the woods, surrounded with natural landscaping and tall Ponderosas. This house was in decent shape, it mostly just needed a little tinkering here, fixin’ there. It is 1,090 Read more

Ok, so this house was really the least fun to work on… Mostly because it needed the least amount of work. Truthfully, you could tell that this house was well loved by the previous owners. The interior was very clean, but sadly the home had been vacant for 4 years so the landscaping was either Read more
